Myths and legends about bare pipes
There are many Myths that run through the mouths of most people, who love to peel and eat pipes on a Sunday afternoon, about how to peel the pipes that are sold already peeled.
But the urban legend that I have heard in this regard is that a group of old ladies dedicated to sitting in the afternoon watching television, are the responsible for sucking pipes until the husks are soft enough to separate the pipe from the shell.Disgusting, right?

Undoubtedly, this unique way of peeling the pipes, it has nothing of an industrial nature and it is not logical either.The explanation has nothing to do with this, it is also much simpler than you might think.In the beginning, the pipes are toasted , and then put them in a machine that centrifuges them and looks like a washing machine.When the air pressure level inside this machine rises, the shells are destroyed thanks to the strong movements and the blows that absorb the pipes.
When all the shells of the pipes are split, we proceed to sift them so that both parts separate perfectly .Finally, the pipes are stored in cans or plastic bags.
At least, curious, don't you think? Did you know the process of peeling pipes? Are you one of those who prefer to peel them before eating them? If you liked it, you can read more peculiarities about food in «5 foods that put us in a good mood«
